Oh, for hells sake just ride the damn thing, there aren't any gaskets between the jugs and the cases anyway, I don't know where youn got this idea from. Porouse metal leaks oil no what you do or what salesman tells you if you ride the machine at all it will look like it leaks so live with it or don't ride it. My 2007 has 585 roller cams in it 10.50 pistons v&h propipe and I ride the hell out of it. Run it thru the car wask and the oil film goes away until you ride it for a while again. S ride or park it!

Mine leaked at the head gaskets, rocker boxes and the o-ring at the jug/cylinders numerous times finally milled bases of jugs, the powder coat was peeling on the cases and tranny too. HD said they'd give me a new drive train, then decided to give me full purchase price trade on my 08 (16000miles)towards an 09 about 2 weeks ago. Have 1000 miles on the new bike and am loving it, signicant difference in handling, hoping all the other issues do not re-occur.

Richard does ride alot and glad to hear you do also. Lots of people here are just reporting after having issues how things are going so far. Most of us enjoy hearing these owners who have had issues are now happy after the fixes that have been done. Glad to hear you are happy with yours. And there is an Oring between the jugs and the cases instead of a traditional flat gasket.

Thank you for the kind words. I think you ride as much as me if I remember from Solvang. hahaha

sorry bro...
but a modern engine should NOT leak oil... I don't care what kind of metal they make it out of.
I also have an all aluminum motor in my '98 corvette, should that leak oil too????  (Because it doesn't)

and there IS an O-ring gasket between the cylinder base and the cases. :2vrolijk_21:

sounds like your '07 is weeping oil just like the rest of them, and you've just accepted it....

We are going to a family reunion the same week as the GTG so we won't be there. We are planning on going to the party at Metal Dragon that some of the riders from the GTG are going to on their way home, maybe see you there. :2vrolijk_21:

You guys are terrifying me. I have a 07 springer with 5000 ks and have not done the enhancement at this stage. The centre bolt has the oil weep so far but nothing else.
I'm still trying to work out what light mods are good for this 110 engine without making it a basket case. I live near Melbourne Australia and unfortunately local knowledge
has been a debate between dealerships. My warranty runs out in Sept so the recall will be done prior. This is my first Harley and I love the bike, fingers crossed this one
doesn't become a time bomb.
